Alfresco.sh stop (Catalina.stop) Issue

[djpme]

As of recently, when I run "alfresco.sh stop", I get the error below…any idea what this means and how I can go about troubleshooting?

This usually implies that Tomcat isn't running or is already shutting down. Is Alfresco running fine prior to the shutdown?

[djpme]

I've been troubleshooting all day. Yes, Alfresco is down prior to shutting down.

Any suggestion?
i've the same exact issue. After installing Alfresco 3.2 if i run ./alfresco.sh start everything seems to work fine

./alfresco.sh start
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

but if i try to load the default address

http://localhost:8080/alfresco

in my browser i fall in a timeout and don't see anything and it seems that tomcat won't work.
So i try to stop the server and this is the result

./alfresco.sh stop

Hi guys,

I also had similar problem. But my problem has been solved.
I would suggest check JAVA_HOME and PATH. in my case JAVA_HOME of JAVA directory path was wrong.
I change with accurate path and my problem solved.

This product is very nice and user friendly.

Thanks and Alfresco Team.

Good luck to all of you.

Unix Anand.
